Skin 79 Intense Classic Balm Review

I haven't done a makeup review for quite awhile so I figured I would get on that!

This product is one I feel pretty strange about.

It's the Skin 79 Intense Classic Blam.

Retails for about $20.00 USD locally. The texture of this bb cream is slightly different from others that I've tried. It's thicker and has a almost gel like consistency .

It has medium coverage that shows up more dewy then matte. I found it pretty decent for concealing acne. It didn't totally cover all the time but it didn't get all flaky and dry which was nice. I don't think this was the longest lasting foundation though.

It has a ashy tone to it like most bb creams but it is never really a problem once on the face. It oxidized fast.

I was disappointed by the amount of product you get. I feel like you need a fair amount of this to really cover your face. It doesn't spread that easily. If you have alot of problem areas your going to need a lot of foundation. I like some bb creams for the ability to quickly spread the product all over my face for some type of coverage. Then I can concentrate on the worst parts. This bb cream is more for a specific trouble spot because of the amount of product it takes.

Verdict: Good for sensitive, dry skin and acne but might not be the best value if buying outside of asia or online.

I like it though! I would agree it is somewhat soothing and the coverage isn't that bad. Good for everyday, hassle free foundation. For days you don't need to look totally perfect but pretty close!
